Setting Up Django on windows

As Django is entirely a  Python Web framework, Django requires Python.  It works with  Python versions from 2.5 to 2.7 (due to backwards incompatibilities in Python 3.0, Django does not currently work with Python 3.0).
Steps:-
1)  Install Python 2.5 or later from http://www.python.org.
2)  Remove any earlier version of Django you already have.
3) Download and Install the current version of Django from https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/misc/distributions/.
4) Open your command prompt
               >>>>>cd c:\django\bin> python setup.py install
5) Django folder will automatically be copied into your python\sitepackage folder.
              >>>>>cd C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin> django-admin.py

If you get this:


Usage: django-admin.py subcommand [options] [args]

Options:
  -v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
                        Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
                        2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
  --settings=SETTINGS   The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
                        "myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, t
                        DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be
                        used.
  --pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
                        A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
                        "/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
  --traceback           Print traceback on exception
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Type 'django-admin.py help <subcommand>' for help on a specific subcommand.
